I was able to try out and preview Mac OS X Panther 10.3 for the past few months after WWDC and for the last few days I am running a latest version. So, what to expect from Mac OS X when it comes out on the evening of October 24th? Come in and have a look in this preview article. Update: screenshots removed at request of Apple.

I know a lot of you probably use a different shell than <a href="www.zsh.org">Zsh, but I couldn't help but contribute this code snipet found in my .zshrc file. (Conversion to other shells is trivial...) This automates my $DISPLAY environment variable setup when using <a href="www.openssh.org">SSH to remote from one UNIX box to another. Each of my boxes has the same snipet, such that when I remote-in using the newly defined ss function, the $DISPLAY variable is set automatically to the machine from whence I am running X11, causing all X client requests to be routed to the machine where I'm sitting... Quite nice, indeed!
